Walk Hucking 30 Nov 2016Exactly 5 miles and 5 walkers.We arrived to a fine layer of frost everywhere. It was cold but a cloudlesssky and very little breeze made it a delightful walk. The hard frostensured no cleaning mud off boots would be required at the end of the trek.We were accompanied by Zak the Dog who announced himself with a launch intothe Youngest Member's spectaculars causing a great cry of alarm. This was,of course, met with great sympathy in the form of loud guffaws and hoots oflaughter. He (the dog) then snatched and ran off with your author's hat.Thankfully, his owner, The Senior Member, demonstrated the calm canineskills of the experienced dog trainer by galloping round the field after himshouting "Come 'ere you little....!!". Eventually, aided by copious bribeswith dog treats, the hat was recovered and replaced upon your author's head.Such japes and merriment put us in good heart as we trooped off through theHucking Estate. We passed the impressive wood carving of the shepherd tending his sheep.Later in the walk we able to admire similar delightful carvings of a familyof wild boar. All the obvious puns relating to boars and bores on thesewalks will be taken as read and left to the Reader's imagination.There were several eye catching sights of hoar frost along the lower groundsin places where the sun could not shine (NB that's not meant to be a doubleentante).The trip concluded with an enthusiastic anticipation of next week's walkwhich will conclude at the Youngest Member's house where we are to betempted by the wonderful Ruth's baking. It's nearly Christmas, aft

Lovely sunny cold morning in autumn,just right for a cycle ride in the woods.We entered via the back passage to avoid the £10 parking fee,thus saving £20.
We just meandered about in the woods ,eventually arriving at the visitor centre,where we used the £20 saving to buy 2 excellent bacon Baps and a hot drink.
I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
